Runs great

So far I am extremely happy with the unit. I have seen a lot of reviews, and still decided to go with this one. It has all the features that I wanted. It started right up, so no “choke issues” for me! It is as quiet as the predator 3500. And more power!

iGen 4500DF

After extensive review and comparisons we purchased our iGen 4500DF because it met pretty much all of our requirements. RV ready was the most important along with size ,weight , and long run time on 3.4 gal tank. The added bonuses were Dual Fuel Capability and Quite Sound level when running under load. It was shipped with Every item and feature as promised. We cant wait to get on the road. PS we live on the Texas coast it will also be used for emergency power outage for our home when needed. .

Has ALL the features I need for my RV application

I am keeping this portable so lighter weight was important. Fired right off after adding oil and prepping. Very quiet and Smooth operation. Love the duel fuel option for backup camping and they send the hose and regulator with it. My buddy liked it so much he ordered one too.

Initial Impression very Good

I have just opened the box and set it up. I was patient and careful, i.e. I followed RTFM and had no problems. I bought the dual fuel model because my purpose is to have it for emergency power backup. Turns out that increased thermal energy in the atmosphere creates violent wind storms that knock out power lines. Who could have predicted that? I don't want to use gasoline if possible since it will spoil in the tank if it's not used. The propane regulator connections were easy. The only issue is the small washer in the LPG line from the unit to the regulator is smaller than the fitting so it falls out. It seems like it could be a snug fit, but they wrapped the end of the hose in a plastic bag to avoid it being lost, which was a heads up. I left the hose connected to the regulator to avoid losing it in the future. Hooked up the battery and pressed the on button, and it started right up. I ran my basement dehumidifier for five hours to break in the motor per the instructions. It was less noisy than the neighbor's lawn mower so no big deal (i.e. no complaints from others in the house). No idea about longevity. Storing for long periods requires pulling the spark plug and putting oil into cylinders to avoid corrosion of the pistons. I plan to run it every month for a little while to power a blower or vacuum the car, which seems easier. I ran the dehumidifier and a blower, which was only 1/2 max power so it should be plenty to keep the refrigerator and the blower for the HVAC running in an emergency.

Igen5000dfc generator

I only have had this generator for a couple weeks now. Very easy to unpack and get it going. Love the digital screen on it. It came with everything needed to use. I have had a honda 3000 inverter and the Honda is louder than this. Easy to move around. I bought it to run my motor home and so far I am impressed and I bought online and never saw it in person before I got it

iGen5000DFc

I purchased this Westinghouse iGen5000DFc and it was delivered today. Filled with oil and connected battery. Connected to a propane bottle and it cranked right up with no problem. Runs very quiet. Glad I purchased this. Will be prepared when next storm knocks out our power.

Quiet

Purchased after much research. Decided on the igen4500DF to have the option of propane or gas. It was quieter then expected, and believe me I did a lot of research. Purchased to use with a ATC Toy Hauler. This will be more then enough to power as needed. I initially started the inverter on propane. Ran pretty rough on propane and would not maintain steady RPM. I went through the trouble shooting as instructed in the manual. Said the issue could be cause by gas left in the carb. (I'm guessing from testing at the factory.) Decided to run it on gas, and it ran incredibly smooth with steady RPM. After break in, (running for an hour with no load) and changing the oil, I decided to try the propane. While it was running on gas, I switched to propane and had no issues. Ran smoothly with steady RPM. My recommendation, break it in on gas. On side note about the break-in, I would certainly change the oil after the first hour. I have never been one to think that there was a need to, but I did see minute metal flecks in the oil after the first hour, as would be normal on any new engine. Overall, seems like a good product. Looking forward to getting out and using it on the hauler.

Small, Quiet, Powerful -- Nice Compact Design

After following the setup instructions, it fired up on the first try. It handled various loads including shop vac (high startup current), heat gun, portable air conditioner. As they all do, it gets noisier with increasing load but still managed a very respectable 73dB 20ft away with a 3 KW load. Volt and Watt meters were accurate. Voltage stability under load was very good. Everything worked as it should. The included oil filler funnel is very nice.
